25. Elevated Prolactin, Low T, Negative MRI

Doc may not Rx cabergoline as MRI appeared clear.

But ask for 0.5mg/week cabergoline trial and prolactin will go down and then test to see where prolactin, LH/FSH, TT and FT go. Ask your doc if he will do this. Most endos are difficult to deal with. If hormones are good, assume that a non detectable adinoma seems to be there.

Cabergoline manages, is not a cure and must be maintained.

E2 labs? ALWAYS! Do that before anything prolactin related.

Thyroid: Check oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky.
Do you get cold easier now?
Outer eyebrows sparse?
Generalized hair thinning?
You have always used iodized salt and/or vitamins listing iodine+selenium?

TSH should be closer to 1.0
fT3 is decent near midrange. If body temperatures are low, we suspect stress/adrenal issues.
